10 months of keeping a child alive, but also 10 months of learning how to keep myself alive.

I could go on and on about how beautiful life has been since becoming a mother to this sweet pea. But there’s another side of motherhood that isn’t always talked about—the part where you continue showing up every day to love and care for your child while simultaneously learning how to love yourself again, take care of yourself, and create some sense of “normalcy” in a life that suddenly feels so different.

Sometimes, that nurture I give myself feels distant and unfamiliar. But with time, patience, dedication, and above all, grace, the turnaround has been transformative and humbling all at once.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that we’re approaching the end stages of infancy with our first baby and are about to level up to having a toddler in our household. And doing it without our first fur baby, Chanel, makes this season bittersweet. But we are so incredibly lucky that they had the chance to share their little moments together while they could.

Grief and happiness are such a strange mix. Somehow, they can exist in the same heart and give you the strength to move mountains.

All thanks to Christ. 🤍

10 months of her.
10 months of becoming a mother.
10 months of finding my way back to myself, too.
And I’m so grateful for every bit of it.
